Mamasur and Ganesha

Once, Parvati had a quarrel with Shiva. She went to stay with her female companions. While she and her friends were talking to one another, Parvati burst into laughter. From the laughter of Parvati, a demon named Mam was born. Parvati instructed Mam to go deep inside the forest and worship Ganesha. While Mamasur was on his way towards the forest, he met another demon, Shambra. Shambrasur taught him how to conquer and rule the universe. He told him not to worship Ganesha. Mamasur followed the instructions and conquered the entire universe. He established a kingdom named Nir-mama-puri. The world was under the terror of this mighty demon. Vishnu, along with the other gods, met Ganesha and asked for help. Ganesha assumed the form of Vighnraj and fought against the demon. While fighting, Vighnraj threw his fragrant lotus into the battlefield. The fragrance nauseated the demon and his army. When Mamasur regained consciousness, he begged Vighnraj to forgive him. Though he was forgiven yet Mamasur was sent to the netherworld as a punishment.
